Fall is nearly here! I love summer, but fall wins out as my favorite time of year. The leaves change colors, the weather gets cool, plus we get to start baking and knitting!
For our free printable flashcards series this week, I thought we’d share some leaf identification flashcards! These are perfect for fall learning, but you can really use them anytime of the year. They’d also be great for a spring unit, since that’s when plants begin to flower again.
I am woefully ignorant about plant species, so I learned quite a bit by making these. I hope you and your children enjoy them as well!
Be sure to check out our other fall printables, including our Fall Sight Word Flashcards and our Fall Alphabet and Number Playdough Mats!

I’ve taught my daughter to identify some types of leaves, this year we’re going to expand on that. Learning in your own backyard 🙂 Grape and ficus, would never have thought of those leaves, I’ll have to show her those.
How fun! I can identify maybe 3 different kinds of leaves so this will be on our list of nature study to-do’s this year. Great printable!
This is awesome! Can’t wait to use these with my daughter.
LOVE these! Perfect for a scavenger hunt at the park!
I love this printable, what a great fall activity. Thanks so much for sharing at the #lovetolearnlinky party! Have a great weekend 🙂
These are a fantastic fall resource!
These are fantastic resources we’ll be sure to use as part of our Leaf Unit that we’re doing later this fall. Thanks for sharing!
